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 polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your GL17 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use gentle cleaners
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Landlord and trade work in Longhope
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
