Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Pye Hill. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Often. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.

Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy 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 carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
