- A crazed, tired basin

The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the next day.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use gentle cleaners
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Gleaston. The price reflects:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Gleaston. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
