Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
How we handle sink repair in Herston
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. Our repair technicians work on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and people most often call us about fine cracks across the glaze and a chipped basin edge.

Repairing versus replacing in Herston
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- One price list for the entire UK
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaks from the fittings
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins

What affects the price in Herston
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Herston. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
If you are in Herston and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
