The process
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaks from the fittings
- Through cracks that let water out
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Wimbish. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
