How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Questions from Covent Garden
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Frequently. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you come to Covent Garden?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Covent Garden. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

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. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaks from the fittings
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Why Covent Garden customers choose us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Colour-matched on site
- Nothing taken out or refitted

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
