DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
When to call us in Bonnington
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- An original basin worth saving
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A crack near the taps
- A crazed, tired basin

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your EH6 postcode.

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Bonnington, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
