Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
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.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What affects the price in The Hacket
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including The Hacket. The price reflects:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Most clients in The Hacket get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
