Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Our technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are cracks starting at the waste and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Panbride questions
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire basin
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job without visiting.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use gentle cleaners
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Repair chips before they stain
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
