What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repair or replace in Balscote?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

- One price list for the entire UK

Signs you need sink repair in Balscote
Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
People typically call us when they notice something like this:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A chipped basin edge
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- An original basin worth saving
What to look for in a quote
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Aftercare advice
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid abrasive pads
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Common questions in Balscote
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
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.
