When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Widespread crazing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Repairing versus replacing in Oxton
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Get a quote
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What we’re called out for in Oxton

The things clients typically mention when they call are:
- Chips around the rim
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Chips on a built-in basin
- A crack near the taps
Before you book anyone
