Sink repair in Braiswick without replacing anything
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Our technicians work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most frequently call us about fine cracks across the glaze and chips on the rim or front edge.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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 Braiswick
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Chips from dropped toiletries

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaks from the fittings

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CO3 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Braiswick, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
