DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Sink repair in Pill, done in place
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Common call-outs are for an antique basin with chips and crazing in the glaze, in enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Pill
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Crazing in the glaze
- A crack near the taps
- A chipped basin edge
- Chips from dropped toiletries
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- If travel is included in the price
- What aftercare is recommended
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Use gentle cleaners
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Plumbing leaks
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Should you replace it?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
