About our sink repair in Pig Street
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. If you are dealing with chips around the rim and a chipped vanity basin, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- One picture of the entire basin
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Widespread crazing
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
