How the visit works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours for most chips. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price

What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Should you replace it?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
