Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin that moves on its brackets

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Quayside. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Get a quote
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Other services in Quayside
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 normally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Questions from Quayside
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can landlords book you?

What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
