When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Hartburn, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price

Advice
Places near Hartburn
Also in Hartburn
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair chips before they stain
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What we’re called out for in Hartburn
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.
Clients normally contact us about:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A crack near the taps
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A crazed, tired basin
What to look for in a quote
- How the colour is matched
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- When it can be used again
