The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Springboig: your questions answered
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Glasgow. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Should you replace it?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use gentle cleaners
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Plumbing leaks
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Springboig use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
