When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Get chips repaired early
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
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.
