When to call us in Thuxton
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A crazed, tired basin
- A chipped vanity basin
- Chips around the rim
- Knocks from hair straighteners

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use mild cleaners only
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Thuxton
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Norfolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thuxton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Widespread crazing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What affects the price in Thuxton
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

What your basin is made of matters
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.
Thuxton questions
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
