DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What affects the price in Saltersgill
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Saltersgill. What changes the price is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use mild cleaners only
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Questions from Saltersgill
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Are there extra charges for Saltersgill?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
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.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Plumbing leaks
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
