Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
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 polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
When to call us in Hell Corner
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- An antique basin with chips
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A chipped basin edge
- Chips on a built-in basin
What to look for in a quote
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How your room will be protected
- How the colour is matched
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
