How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- One visit for most repairs

What affects the price in Bix
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
Most customers in Bix get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use mild cleaners only
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Repair chips before they stain
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
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.
Bix questions
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
