Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair chips before they stain
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
FAQs for Bishops Wood
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
