How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Plumbing leaks
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Little Holbury as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
When to call us in Little Holbury
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Common reasons people in Little Holbury contact us include:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Chips on a built-in basin
- An antique basin with chips
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
