A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most frequently call us about chips on the rim or front edge and a chipped vanity basin.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Barkham, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why book with us
- One visit for most repairs
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Same prices wherever you are
- Fixed prices from your pictures

Landlord and trade work in Barkham
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.
- 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 tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Barkham
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Send us pictures and we will tell you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you cover Barkham?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Barkham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
