What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Do you need sink repair in Hawcoat?
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.

- A crazed, tired basin
- An original basin worth saving
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A chipped basin edge
Before you book anyone
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How soon you can use it again
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire basin
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
