Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What else we do in Roundshaw
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use mild cleaners only
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
When to call us in Roundshaw
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A chipped vanity basin
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A crack near the taps
- Chips on the rim or front edge

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- The material, if you know it
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why Roundshaw customers choose us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Typically one visit, start to finish

The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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 it into the surrounding surface.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Roundshaw, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Common questions in Roundshaw
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
