Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
For a price in Arkholme, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
