The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Use mild cleaners only
- Repair chips before they stain
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Riby. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
