The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- 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.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Lane End, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Lane End
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins

- Belfast and butler sinks

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
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.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Common questions in Lane End
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
