What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

What affects the price in Way Head
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Way Head. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Way Head. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Common problems we fix in Way Head
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Clients typically contact us about:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A chipped basin edge
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a couple of hours for most chips. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
