What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
How it 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 have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- 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
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price

Related advice
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid abrasive pads
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Plumbing leaks
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Will there be a smell?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Repairing versus replacing in Hycemoor
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
