Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. 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.
Why us?
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Colour mixed on the day to match

The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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 pictures, as it can add time.
Questions from Duke Street
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Frequently. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
