How it works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Repairing versus replacing in Hollingbury
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
When to call us in Hollingbury
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A crack near the taps
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips on a built-in basin
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Who turns up on the day
- When it can be used again
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Widespread crazing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

For landlords and businesses
