What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we do, step by step
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 job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Questions from Kelshall
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Do you need sink repair in Kelshall?
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Crazing in the glaze
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Chips on the rim or front edge

Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- One price list for the entire UK
- A fixed quote before booking
- Everything repaired in place
- Colour-matched on site

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not overtighten taps
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Treat the basin 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 the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
