Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Related advice
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Repair or replace in Halton?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?

- Most jobs done in one visit
- Work done at your home or business
- Same prices wherever you are

When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin

FAQs for Halton
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you work in Halton?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Halton. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What affects the price in Halton
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
