Tiffield: your questions answered
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Landlord and trade work in Tiffield
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Tiffield. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Widespread crazing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
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. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
