How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can
Get a quote
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Clementhorpe. The price comes down to:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed quote.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
