Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What a repair can’t fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Whaley Thorns: your questions answered
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
