What affects the price in Auckland Park
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Auckland Park. The price comes down to:
- How much damage there is
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
Most clients in Auckland Park get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get chips repaired early
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Your questions about sink repair in Auckland Park
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Different materials, different repairs
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.
