Advice
Can I fix it myself?
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.
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.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

What else we do in Abington Pigotts
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Abington Pigotts. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Get chips repaired early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
