Before and after: a crack on the edge of a basin repaired

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Questions from Bassetts Pole

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Are there extra charges for Bassetts Pole?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

How to compare quotes

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Why repair rather than replace?

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • The material

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Bassetts Pole. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Bassetts Pole, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Use gentle cleaners

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
