Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Treat the basin 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 the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

How we price sink repair

- What the surface is made of
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire basin

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 usually the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What a repair can’t fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Widespread crazing
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
