Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
What we are called out for in Swaythling
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Crazing in the glaze
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Cracks starting at the waste
Comparing quotes
- Who will actually do the work
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How soon you can use it again
- How the room is protected while they work
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Get chips repaired early
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
