What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Related advice

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

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.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
