Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Sink repair at your home in Ackton
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. Whether it’s a chipped basin edge and a crack near the taps, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Ackton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Should you replace it?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- One visit for most repairs
- A year’s guarantee on all work

- Same prices wherever you are

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What affects the price in Ackton
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the whole basin
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

FAQs for Ackton
Do you cover Ackton?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Ackton. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
