About our sink repair in Deane
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Whether it’s damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Deane. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire basin
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
