Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Gislingham. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job without visiting.

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
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.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
When to call us in Gislingham
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Chips around the rim
- An original basin worth saving
- A chipped vanity basin
- Knocks from hair straighteners

How it works

- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
