Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice
Should you replace it?
A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Eythorne. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- The material
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For a price in Eythorne, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Repairs by material
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.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Repair chips before they stain
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
