- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.

- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.

Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
What you get with us
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- One price list for the whole UK
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- We leave the room as we found it

Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Loxley, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Loxley as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Loxley. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
Loxley: your questions answered
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Usually, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
