- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.

Repair or replace in Prickwillow?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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.

What else we do in Prickwillow
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
What we are called out for in Prickwillow
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.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- An antique basin with chips
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Chips on the rim or front edge

Prickwillow: your questions answered
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers

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 and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
