What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the area is dry

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
