How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Don’t overtighten taps

What affects the price in Ellingham
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Ellingham. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Ellingham questions
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins

How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a couple of hours for most chips.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
