How we handle sink repair in Piece
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most frequently call us about fine cracks across the glaze and chips around the rim.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Piece and across Cornwall.

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
Questions from Piece
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Do you cover Piece?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Piece for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Frequently. Send us pictures and we will tell you.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Piece as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
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.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole basin
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Common problems we fix in Piece

- A crazed, tired basin
