How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the next day.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

What else we do in Little Common
When to call us in Little Common
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A chipped basin edge
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
What to look for in a quote
- Aftercare advice
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Get chips repaired early
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What affects the price in Little Common
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why book with us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- One visit for most repairs
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
