How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
Questions to ask before you book
- What preparation is included

- How to look after the finish
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Plumbing leaks
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed price.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Repair chips before they stain
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
