DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Rivenhall End questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Do you come to Rivenhall End?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Rivenhall End for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Widespread crazing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
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.

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
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
