How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get chips repaired early
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
How the visit works

- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.

Advice
Your questions about sink repair in Affpuddle
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
