Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Plumbing leaks
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins

- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Chips on the rim or front edge

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: 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 we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Brookstreet, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Brookstreet. The price comes down to:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Different materials, different repairs
