A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We work on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most often call us about a crazed, tired basin and knocks from hair straighteners.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it

For a price in Allendale Town, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
