What we are called out for in Barnby
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
The things clients generally mention when they call are:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A crack near the taps
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A chipped basin edge
What your quote should include
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What preparation is included
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether they match the colour on site
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Barnby. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
What we can’t put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use mild cleaners only
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Why repair rather than replace?
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 items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
