About our sink repair in Hillfields
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Whether it’s chips around the rim and crazing in the glaze, we can help, on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins alike.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hillfields
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hillfields. What changes the price is:
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Repair chips before they stain
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
When to call us in Hillfields
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A crack near the taps
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Chips on the rim or front edge
What your quote should include
- How your room will be protected
- Who will actually do the work
- What aftercare is recommended
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How it works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the next day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
