Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use gentle cleaners
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Widespread crazing
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole basin
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Get a quote
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Signs you need sink repair in Osmaston
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Crazing in the glaze
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips on the rim or front edge
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How to look after the finish
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
