Advice
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What affects the price in Lower Thorpe
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use mild cleaners only
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid abrasive pads
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
