Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Get chips repaired early
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
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.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Rushmere. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole basin

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
