When to call us in Patchole
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Crazing in the glaze
- Knocks from hair straighteners

- A crack near the taps
What your quote should include

- What protection goes down before work starts
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Aftercare advice
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why book with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Work done at your home or business
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- One price list for the entire UK

FAQs for Patchole
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Do you work in Patchole?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Patchole for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
