We work on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and people most often call us about chips on a built-in basin and chips from dropped toiletries.

When to call us in Runcton Bottom
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Cracks starting at the waste
Before you book anyone
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How your room will be protected
- How changes to the job are handled
- What preparation is included
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
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.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- 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.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Widespread crazing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Repairing versus replacing in Runcton Bottom
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Runcton Bottom questions
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you come to Runcton Bottom?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Runcton Bottom for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
