Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Windmill Hill. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
What we’re called out for in Windmill Hill
Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
People usually call us after spotting one of these:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Chips on a built-in basin
- An original basin worth saving
- Chips from dropped toiletries

Questions from Windmill Hill
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Windmill Hill. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Plumbing leaks
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
