What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid abrasive pads
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Should you replace it?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What we can’t put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Plumbing leaks
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
