Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire basin
Most clients in Strichen get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Strichen. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
