How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Get chips repaired early
- Use gentle cleaners
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
