Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Get chips repaired early
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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 it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the next day.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
For a price in Low Pittington, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Plumbing leaks
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Do you need sink repair in Low Pittington?
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.

- Cracks starting at the waste
