Potash questions
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Potash included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Suffolk.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Typically, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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 won’t last.

Different materials, different repairs
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.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take 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.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

More services for Potash
Landlords, agents and businesses in Potash
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire basin
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
