Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do I have to be there?

Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole basin
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Signs you need sink repair in Bretton
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
The things customers typically mention when they call include:
- A crack near the taps
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- An antique basin with chips
- A crazed, tired basin
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Aftercare advice
- How changes to the job are handled
- What protection goes down before work starts
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
