How we handle sink repair in Bidden
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Common call-outs are for an antique basin with chips and cracks around the tap holes or waste, in antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Bidden and across Hampshire.

What affects the price in Bidden
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
For a price in Bidden, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
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, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
