The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the following day.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Repairing versus replacing in Allington
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Everything repaired in place
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
Take a look at our full price list.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed 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, then guarantee it for a year.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Get chips repaired early
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use gentle cleaners
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
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.
When to call us in Allington
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- An original basin worth saving
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Crazing in the glaze

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole basin
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Widespread crazing
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
