Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use mild cleaners only
- Repair chips before they stain
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Widespread crazing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Cornhill. The price reflects:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Cornhill, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
