A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

Questions from Montpelier
Do you cover Montpelier?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Montpelier. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
What we’re called out for in Montpelier
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Crazing in the glaze
What your quote should include
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether they match the colour on site
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Montpelier. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole basin
- Something in shot to show the size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
