Before and after: a damaged ceramic basin restored

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can usually be used later that day or the following day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Pilling Lane questions

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

When can you do it?

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Pilling Lane. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you need sink repair in Pilling Lane?

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • A crack near the taps
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

Before you book anyone

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who will actually do the work

10 questions to ask before you book

Repairs by material

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.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
