DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Repair chips before they stain
- Don’t overtighten taps
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- 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 which floor the room is on
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know about parking or access

Common problems we fix in Brinkley
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A chipped basin edge
What your quote should include

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Brinkley
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Brinkley questions
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What areas do you cover?
All of Nottinghamshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Should you replace it?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
