What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the day after.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
When we would advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Widespread crazing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Landlord and trade work in Little Horkesley
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t overtighten taps
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
