Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

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

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

FAQs for Woodsford

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will you remove the sink?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

Will it make a mess?

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

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
