How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Are there extra charges for Hatfield?

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
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.
When to call us in Hatfield
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
