The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your NE10 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
