Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
