How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can typically be used later that day or the following day.

How to prepare

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

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

Materials we repair

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

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Common problems we fix in Rampisham

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • An antique basin with chips
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Chips on a built-in basin

What to look for in a quote

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How soon you can use it again
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
