Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaks from the fittings
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Flimwell questions
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
