DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Repair or replace in Athersley?
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

- Work done at your home or business
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Rooms protected and left tidy

What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Repair chips before they stain
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
