When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Your questions about sink repair in Littledown
How much does sink repair cost in Littledown?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

What we’re called out for in Littledown
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- An antique basin with chips
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Chips around the rim
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How soon you can use it again
The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the next day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
