Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repairs by material
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 and leave the character intact.

FAQs for Tankerton
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

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 over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
