Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the area is dry

Questions from Smallrice
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy 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.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Widespread crazing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Plumbing leaks
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Smallrice
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins

- Belfast and butler sinks
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Do not overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
