Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Derbyshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Smalley, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a couple of hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
