Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use gentle cleaners
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
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.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaks from the fittings
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

How it works
Here’s how a visit typically 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 we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare

- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can

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 send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Related advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
