Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
When we would advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Your questions about sink repair in Choppington
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Repair chips before they stain
- 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.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing 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.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: 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. Quotes are free and no obligation.
