Godshill: your questions answered
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Do you come to Godshill?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Godshill. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Typically, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Isle of Wight. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Godshill. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair

How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- 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 it into the surrounding surface.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
