Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
How we handle sink repair in Florence
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Our repair technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people contact us are a chipped basin edge and a crazed, tired basin.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Florence use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Florence. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There is 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 come back to you with a fixed figure.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Your questions about sink repair in Florence
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How much does sink repair cost in Florence?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
