Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Widespread crazing
- Plumbing leaks
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
What your basin is made of matters
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.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

What affects the price in Blackness
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Repair chips before they stain
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Common questions in Blackness
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
