How it works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Old Way. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why Old Way customers choose us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Antique & period basins

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

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, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
