DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Repair chips before they stain
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why Old Town customers choose us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Is it safe with children and pets around?

What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Old Town is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire basin
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Landlord and trade work in Old Town
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
