How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
When to call us in West Hallam

What affects the price in West Hallam
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique

Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
