The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why book with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Generally one visit, start to finish

What we are called out for in Hirst Courtney
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A crazed, tired basin
- A crack near the taps
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Chips on a built-in basin
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if they find more damage
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Aftercare advice
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use gentle cleaners
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Hirst Courtney: your questions answered
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Do you cover Hirst Courtney?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Hirst Courtney. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Generally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
