Related advice
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Should you replace it?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Coryton: your questions answered
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you cover Coryton?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Coryton. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
