Our technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and people most frequently call us about a chipped vanity basin and crazing in the glaze.

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
Most clients in South Bank get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
If you manage property in South Bank, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
What we are called out for in South Bank
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A crack near the taps
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A chipped basin edge
Before booking anyone
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How your room will be protected
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
FAQs for South Bank
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Are there extra charges for South Bank?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get chips repaired early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive 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 and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
