How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. 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 start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, 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 and leave the character intact.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Laurieston. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Should you replace it?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Can I fix it myself?
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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.
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.

Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
