Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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 pictures, as it can add time.

What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

What your basin is made of matters
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.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Your questions about sink repair in Loscoe
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you work in Loscoe?
We do. We send a technician to Loscoe for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Widespread crazing
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use mild cleaners only
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
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 repairing them early keeps the job simple.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Common problems we fix in Loscoe
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Chips around the rim
- An original basin worth saving
- Crazing in the glaze
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
