How we handle sink repair in Reach
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Our repair technicians work on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people contact us are chips from dropped toiletries and an original basin worth saving.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Widespread crazing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on

Questions from Reach
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you work in Reach?
We do. Technicians travel to Reach from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a couple of hours for most chips, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Repair chips before they stain
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Can I fix it myself?
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 typically cheaper.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
