How it works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Should you replace it?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use gentle cleaners
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.

What information do you need?

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
