The process
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Common questions in Newbiggin
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Newbiggin included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Send us pictures and we will tell you.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Repair or replace in Newbiggin?
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. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 generally the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
