What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Through cracks that let water out
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use mild cleaners only
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What we are called out for in Pound Hill
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Customers usually contact us about:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A period basin that needs restoring

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
