The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
What you get with us
- A fixed quote before booking
- We leave the room as we found it

- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use mild cleaners only
- Avoid abrasive pads
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off 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.

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

Work for landlords and builders

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
