The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Repair chips before they stain
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send photos for a quote
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
