The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Do not overtighten taps
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
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.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Common questions in Gurney Slade
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Do you cover Gurney Slade?
We do. We send a technician to Gurney Slade for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Are there extra charges for Gurney Slade?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
