What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

FAQs for Berepper

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Related advice

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Widespread crazing

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

If you’re in Berepper and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
