When to call us in Pilton
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A crack near the taps
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips on the rim or front edge

How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use gentle cleaners
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
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.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
