Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Mildenhall questions
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Mildenhall. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your IP28 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
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. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, 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.
What you get with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
