When we would advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What we are called out for in Woodside
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Chips on the rim or front edge

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
