What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, 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 tidy up a tiny mark. 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 frequently 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. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why book with us
- We leave the room as we found it

What we’re called out for in South Street
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A crack near the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How to care for the finish
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether the price covers travel
When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
