How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid abrasive pads
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins

The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the area is dry

FAQs for Borley
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Are there extra charges for Borley?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
