Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit

Should you replace it?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What affects the price in Snitterfield
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Snitterfield questions
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Do you come to Snitterfield?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Snitterfield from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, 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.
Common problems we fix in Snitterfield
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Cracks starting at the waste
- An antique basin with chips
- Chips on the rim or front edge
What to look for in a quote
- How the colour is matched
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
