Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Get chips repaired early

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. 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. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

See our full price list.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Widespread crazing
  • Through cracks that let water out

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • A crazed, tired basin

Our hiring checklist

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can typically be used later that day or the day after.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
