Can I fix it myself?
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 often 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use mild cleaners only
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Questions from Backford Cross
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Backford Cross
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For a price in Backford Cross, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
