Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Ditton. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Ditton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

FAQs for Ditton
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Do you work in Ditton?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Ditton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use mild cleaners only
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
