What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaks from the fittings
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid abrasive pads
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What affects the price in Hive
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Hive. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- Access to the area
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hive. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Can I fix it myself?
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 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.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in East Riding of Yorkshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
