DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit

Advice
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your ST10 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hoften's Cross use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
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.
What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Widespread crazing
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
