The process
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use mild cleaners only
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Costock: your questions answered
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
