Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
Clean with mild, non-abrasive 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, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
South Kilworth questions

Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole basin
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most clients in South Kilworth get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
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.
Signs you need sink repair in South Kilworth
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- An original basin worth saving
- A crazed, tired basin
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Knocks from hair straighteners
Questions to ask before you book
- How to care for the finish
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
