Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Upper Hardres. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Common questions in Upper Hardres
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you cover Upper Hardres?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Upper Hardres. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Through cracks that let water out
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
