What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools

- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t overtighten taps
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your PL25 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Widespread crazing
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
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.
