Related advice
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in St Julians as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
St Julians questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Do you come to St Julians?
We do. We send a technician to St Julians for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Send us photos and we will tell you.
Signs you need sink repair in St Julians
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- An original basin worth saving
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
What to look for in a quote
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Repair or replace in St Julians?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
