The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the next day.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Sink repair in Copythorne, done in place
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We are often asked to fix a crack near the taps and an antique basin with chips, on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
What else we do in Copythorne
Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Why book with us

- Work done at your home or business

- No need to remove anything

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Do not overtighten taps
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
