Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Hogpits Bottom questions
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Are there extra charges for Hogpits Bottom?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Signs you need sink repair in Hogpits Bottom
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A period basin that needs restoring

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
