Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Lower Haysden. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Everything repaired in place
- Work done at your home or business

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaks from the fittings
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
