Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Landlord and trade work in Bathway
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaks from the fittings
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Advice
Bathway: your questions answered
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Bathway, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
