What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy 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 carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Questions from Durrington
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Get chips repaired early
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed price.
