How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Your questions about sink repair in Butler's Cross
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is there a guarantee?

What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What else we do in Butler's Cross
Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Butler's Cross use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
