How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the day after.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Landlord and trade work in Black Horse Drove

What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use mild cleaners only
- Get chips repaired early
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
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.
