How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Landlord and trade work in Atherington
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Signs you need sink repair in Atherington
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A chipped basin edge
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- An original basin worth saving
- Chips on a built-in basin
Questions to ask before booking
- How soon you can use it again
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What aftercare is recommended
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Should you replace it?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Through cracks that let water out
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, a professional repair is worth it.
