What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Get chips repaired early
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

- Widespread crazing

Repairing versus replacing in Urpeth
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.
What you get with us
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- A fixed quote before booking
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- No extra charge for your area

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
When to call us in Urpeth
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Look out for these signs:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Crazing in the glaze
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
What to look for in a quote
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How changes to the job are handled
- Aftercare advice
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
