Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
What affects the price in Tolleshunt Major
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Tolleshunt Major, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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 the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid abrasive pads
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
