It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Common call-outs are for chips around the rim and an antique basin with chips, across ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Plumbing leaks
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

What affects the price in Brook Street
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One picture of the whole basin
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
When to call us in Brook Street
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.
Clients generally contact us about:
- An original basin worth saving
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A crazed, tired basin
Questions to ask before you book
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What aftercare is recommended
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Questions from Brook Street
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Brook Street and the rest of West Sussex. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Store toiletries on a shelf
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
