Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use gentle cleaners
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
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 finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price

Common questions in Vickerstown
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
