Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not overtighten taps
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Should you replace it?
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. The price 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 quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

The process
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Most customers in Trevowah get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Repairs by material
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.
