Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid abrasive pads
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
What affects the price in Skirpenbeck
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For a price in Skirpenbeck, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
