Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Common problems we fix in Postcombe
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
Common reasons people in Postcombe contact us are:
- A crack near the taps
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
Questions to ask before booking

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Postcombe, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
