Repairs by material

Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Sink repair in Riverside, done in place
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. If you are dealing with a crazed, tired basin and an antique basin with chips, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What we’re called out for in Riverside
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.
Customers generally contact us about:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price covers travel

How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
