Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Get chips repaired early
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, matching the colour and gloss. Nothing is taken off the wall. We regularly repair antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are a chipped vanity basin and chips from dropped toiletries.

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- 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.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For a price in Pennywell, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
