The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Widespread crazing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Cotes Heath. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
