How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Get chips repaired early
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Inch. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What else we do in Inch
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Plumbing leaks
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
