Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Typical jobs include crazing in the glaze and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we cannot put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Wilby. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Advice
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
What else we do in Wilby
Wilby questions
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Wilby included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not 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 doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Do not overtighten taps
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What affects the price in Wilby
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Wilby. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
