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, and the colour is mixed to suit.
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.
Sink repair at your home in Gurnard
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Whether it’s crazing in the glaze and chips on the rim or front edge, we can help, whatever the material.

When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Plumbing leaks
- Through cracks that let water out
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
Common problems we fix in Gurnard
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A chipped basin edge
- Crazing in the glaze
- A crack near the taps
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- When it can be used again
Should you replace it?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Most jobs done in one visit
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Have new chips repaired quickly
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.
FAQs for Gurnard
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you cover the entire of Isle of Wight?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Do you cover Gurnard?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Gurnard. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
