DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What affects the price in Tockington
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole basin
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Common questions in Tockington
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you cover Tockington?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Tockington for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Tockington?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
