Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What else we do in Penninghame
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
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Penninghame. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Penninghame, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
