Sink repair in Platt, done in place
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Our technicians work on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and an antique basin with chips.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Platt. The price comes down to:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What your basin is made of matters
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
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
