Different materials, different repairs
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.
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.
The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Can you quote from photos?

What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Cripp's Corner. Prices do not change with location.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

How quickly can you book me in?

Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use mild cleaners only
- Avoid abrasive pads
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
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.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Widespread crazing
- Plumbing leaks

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
