Before and after: a chip on the front of a bathroom basin repaired

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

When to call us in Beckermet

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • An original basin worth saving
  • A crack near the taps
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

Choosing a repair company

Beckermet: your questions answered

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will you remove the sink?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

Do you cover the entire of Cumbria?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Beckermet. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you quote from pictures?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaks from the fittings

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CA21 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
