How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, including clearing up.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Should you replace it?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, 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 book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Same prices wherever you are

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

If you’re in Ball o' Ditton and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Questions from Ball o' Ditton

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

What we can’t put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaks from the fittings

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
