Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Sink repair in Battlefield without replacing anything
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We regularly repair enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are chips around the rim and an original basin worth saving.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use mild cleaners only
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What we’re called out for in Battlefield
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Chips around the rim
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips on a built-in basin
- A crack near the taps
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- If travel is included in the price
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
