Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the next day.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

When to call us in Spinney Hills
Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips around the rim
- An original basin worth saving
What to look for in a quote
- Who will actually do the work
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How to look after the finish
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Spinney Hills. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Spinney Hills. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Work for landlords and builders
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 to keep costs down.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What your basin is made of matters
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.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
