What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaks from the fittings
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not overtighten taps
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Gurnett. What changes the price is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is

- How easy the damage is to reach
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole basin
If you’re in Gurnett and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
