Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically 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 cannot fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Basingstoke. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Basingstoke. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Repair or replace in Basingstoke?

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
What happens on the day
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 morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
