How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Repair chips before they stain
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a couple of hours for most chips, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Your questions about sink repair in Harmer Green
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Do you cover Harmer Green?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Harmer Green from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Should you replace it?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Harmer Green. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
