DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Sink repair in Duntisbourne Abbots, done in place
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We work on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people contact us are cracks starting at the waste and chips on the rim or front edge.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Duntisbourne Abbots as everywhere else we work.

Questions from Duntisbourne Abbots
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Related advice
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
