What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins

How it works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours for most chips. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Ruston questions
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Ruston included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
