Can I fix it myself?
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 usually the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

How it works
On the day, 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 tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Bradnop. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Bradnop: your questions answered
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Do you cover Bradnop?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Bradnop. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Bradnop included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
