Boyden Gate: your questions answered
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Plumbing leaks
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
The process
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Related advice
When to call us in Boyden Gate
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- An original basin worth saving
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A crack near the taps
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What prep work is covered
- Aftercare advice
- How your room will be protected
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get chips repaired early
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
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.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is 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 photos.
