When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Whitchurch Canonicorum: your questions answered
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Generally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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 if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Get chips repaired early
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
What you get with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- One price list for the whole UK
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
