Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Why us?

When to call us in Mount Bures
Fine crazing in the glaze is normally down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
Questions to ask before booking
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Widespread crazing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

What information do you need?

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

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 won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
