Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why us?
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
See our prices page.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Cilmery, and we will reply with a fixed price.
