Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Most customers in Linton get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Linton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Plumbing leaks
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
