The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit

- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Signs you need sink repair in Washbrook
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- An antique basin with chips
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Who will actually do the work

When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Widespread crazing
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Washbrook. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use gentle cleaners
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
