- The colour is matched by hand.

How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Get chips repaired early
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use gentle cleaners
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add 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.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole basin
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
