Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use gentle cleaners
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Murcott: your questions answered
How much does sink repair cost in Murcott?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What your basin is made of matters
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.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Murcott. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
