What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Repair chips before they stain
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
