Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
About our sink repair in Arlington
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Our repair technicians work on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most frequently call us about damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and an antique basin with chips.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Plumbing leaks
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Advice
Common questions in Arlington
Do you cover the entire of Gloucestershire?
All of Gloucestershire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Are there extra charges for Arlington?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do you come to Arlington?
We do. Technicians travel to Arlington from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not overtighten taps
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
