Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is typically repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are an antique basin with chips and chips on the rim or front edge.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire basin
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin often 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. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Landlord and trade work in Phantassie
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Phantassie as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
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.
Do you need sink repair in Phantassie?
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
Customers usually contact us about:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Chips from dropped toiletries

Phantassie: your questions answered
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Phantassie.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
