- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the following day.

What your basin is made of matters
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.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Widespread crazing
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Don’t overtighten taps
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
