Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
The Chart: your questions answered
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your RH8 postcode.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why The Chart clients choose us
- Colour-matched on site
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What a repair cannot fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
