The process
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
How we handle sink repair in Calthorpe Street
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We are often asked to fix a chipped basin edge and crazing in the glaze, across vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use mild cleaners only
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job without visiting.
