Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
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.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Should you replace it?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
