Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Cornholme. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Cornholme. What changes the price is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One picture of the whole basin
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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.

What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Plumbing leaks
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Questions from Cornholme
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you cover Cornholme?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Cornholme from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Landlord and trade work in Cornholme
For anyone letting property in or around Cornholme, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Avoid abrasive pads
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
