Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Old Tebay. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size

Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin that moves on its brackets

Old Tebay questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
