Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Do you need sink repair in Gowkshill?
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Chips on a built-in basin
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A crack near the taps

When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
