How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use mild cleaners only
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 often lifts.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

What we are called out for in Shortheath
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A chipped basin edge
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- An original basin worth saving

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Shortheath. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
If you are in Shortheath and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
