Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use gentle cleaners
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Make sure the area is dry

What affects the price in Glasshouses
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Widespread crazing
- Plumbing leaks
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Glasshouses

- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Glasshouses. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
