Repair or replace in Milford?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the day after.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use mild cleaners only
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What a repair can’t fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaks from the fittings
- Widespread crazing
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
What affects the price in Milford
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Milford. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Milford. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
FAQs for Milford
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
When to call us in Milford
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A chipped vanity basin
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips from dropped toiletries
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- If travel is included in the price
