Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
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.
Baker's Hill: your questions answered
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How soon can you come?

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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.
Signs you need sink repair in Baker's Hill
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A chipped basin edge
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A crack near the taps
Before booking anyone
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How long it needs to cure
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What affects the price in Baker's Hill
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Baker's Hill. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
