- Whether they match the colour on site
- What protection goes down before work starts
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
What affects the price in Gentleshaw
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Gentleshaw, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use gentle cleaners
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
