What affects the price in Basford
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back

Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Questions from Basford
Do you cover the entire of Nottingham?
We cover the whole UK, including Basford and the rest of Nottingham. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Generally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Basford?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Do you come to Basford?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Basford and the rest of Nottingham. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Plumbing leaks
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use mild cleaners only
- Repair chips before they stain
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
