Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
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 the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
How we handle sink repair in Ecclesall
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and people most often call us about chips on the rim or front edge and chips on a built-in basin.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Ecclesall as everywhere else we work.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Repairing versus replacing in Ecclesall
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Rooms protected and left tidy

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Common problems we fix in Ecclesall
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A crack near the taps
- A chipped vanity basin
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A crazed, tired basin
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually do the work
- How to look after the finish
- How the colour is matched
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Ecclesall questions
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
