How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
I rent my home. Can I book you?

Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Frequently. Send us pictures and we will tell you.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins frequently 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. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
When to call us in Witton
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- A chipped vanity basin
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Crazing in the glaze
- A period basin that needs restoring
What to look for in a quote
- How to care for the finish
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- When it can be used again
- Whether the price covers travel
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get chips repaired early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
