A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What else we do in Stapleford Tawney
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Stapleford Tawney. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Widespread crazing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
