DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Repair chips before they stain
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.
What we are called out for in Blacksnape
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Chips around the rim
- Cracks starting at the waste

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- 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 it into the surrounding surface.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice
When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
- Widespread crazing
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole basin
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
