When a repair is not the answer
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
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
Can I fix it myself?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid abrasive pads
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
