Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- One picture of the entire basin
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For a price in Badlesmere, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Badlesmere questions
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Do you work in Badlesmere?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Badlesmere from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Are there extra charges for Badlesmere?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Repairing versus replacing in Badlesmere
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Badlesmere. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Signs you need sink repair in Badlesmere
Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
