What else we do in Tunstall
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, 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.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Get chips repaired early
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
