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 do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid abrasive pads
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings

- What it’s made of, if you know
