Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Tir-y-berth: your questions answered
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid abrasive pads
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
