What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What does sink repair cost?

Before and after: a chip on the front of a bathroom basin repaired

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

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, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Why repair rather than replace?

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No extra charge for your area

See our full price list.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Bailbrook, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaks from the fittings

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • The material, if you know it

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Bailbrook, and we will reply with a fixed price.
