How we handle sink repair in Ruardean
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We are often asked to fix cracks around the tap holes or waste and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole basin
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed quote.
