What we are called out for in Hoby
Fine crazing in the glaze is generally down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A chipped basin edge
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
Landlords with property near Sileby station (about 4.4 miles west) use us between tenancies, so basins are repaired rather than replaced.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Hoby: your questions answered
Do you cover villages like Hoby?
Yes, we do: Hoby is covered like any town. Tell us if access is tricky.
Is it worth repairing old basins in a period home in Hoby?
Usually: original pieces are often better made and harder to replace. Send pictures and we will advise.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Do you come to Hoby?
We do. We send a technician to Hoby for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Normally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured. Somewhere as small as Hoby, access is usually the main thing to plan. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
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.
