- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Plumbing leaks
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Whitechapel
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Lancashire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Whitechapel. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- One picture of the whole basin
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your PR3 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs
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.

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
