The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repairs by material
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.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

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. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use gentle cleaners
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
