Before and after: a damaged ceramic basin restored

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Get chips repaired early

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Common problems we fix in St Margarets

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Cracks starting at the waste

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repairing versus replacing in St Margarets

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Same prices wherever you are

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Through cracks that let water out

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
