Golden Hill: your questions answered
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A chipped vanity basin
- Chips around the rim
- An original basin worth saving
What your quote should include
- How changes to the job are handled
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether a trained technician does the job
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole basin
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Repair chips before they stain
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
