About our sink repair in Abbotsley
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Whether it’s damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and chips on the rim or front edge, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
Should you replace it?
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What affects the price in Abbotsley
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
