How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What affects the price in Farringdon
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
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.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Sunderland and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
