DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

- The material
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Curbar, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Common problems we fix in Curbar
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A chipped basin edge
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A chipped vanity basin
- An antique basin with chips
What to look for in a quote
- How the colour is matched
- What happens if they find more damage
- How soon you can use it again
- What protection goes down before work starts
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins

What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours.
- 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.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
