How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- Colour-matched on site
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Most jobs done in one visit

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Store toiletries on a shelf
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair

- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

What affects the price in Bowthorpe
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
