Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not overtighten taps
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- We leave the room as we found it
