Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaks from the fittings
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your EH16 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
