What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Giltbrook. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- One price list for the whole UK
- Colour-matched on site
- We leave the room as we found it
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

Common questions in Giltbrook
Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Giltbrook. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
