DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
About our sink repair in Chartwell Green
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We work on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people contact us are a chipped vanity basin and a chipped basin edge.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs 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 quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Repair chips before they stain
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
