Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Our repair technicians work on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and people most often call us about crazing in the glaze and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
Advice
What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole basin
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most clients in New Copse get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Repairing versus replacing in New Copse
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for New Copse. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Landlords, agents and businesses in New Copse
If you manage property in New Copse, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use gentle cleaners
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
