Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

- A crazed, tired basin

- Chips on the rim or front edge

How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

If you are just outside Netherhay, we cover Drimpton (1 mile south-east), Greenham (1 mile south-west), Clapton (1 mile north), Wayford (1 mile north) and Burstock (2 miles south).

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole basin
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Widespread crazing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Netherhay
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use gentle cleaners
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
