DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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 your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Related advice
Do you need sink repair in Low Row?
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Cracks starting at the waste
Before booking anyone
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How long it needs to cure
- How the colour is matched
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use mild cleaners only
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
