Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

What affects the price in Wilsontown

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Wilsontown. The price reflects:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

FAQs for Wilsontown

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

In many cases. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Do not overtighten taps

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
