Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Common questions in Llansaint

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What affects the price in Llansaint
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
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.
