Chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins for homes and businesses in Matson and across Gloucestershire. Send pictures for a free, fixed quote.
- Repairs from £95
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A chipped basin edge
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
About our sink repair in Matson
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We regularly repair antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are crazing in the glaze and an antique basin with chips.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
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.
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Plumbing leaks
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the day after.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
