- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price 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 price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
