What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Widespread crazing
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
If you are in Cosmeston and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Questions from Cosmeston
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the next day.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
