Repair or replace: which is better?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Southampton and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
FAQs for Midanbury
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you come to Midanbury?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Midanbury from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
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.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
A quote takes minutes to ask for: 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.
Common problems we fix in Midanbury
Fine crazing in the glaze is normally down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Cracks starting at the waste

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
