- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

- A wider photo showing the whole basin
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

- An antique basin with chips
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A crack near the taps
- Chips on a built-in basin
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if they find more damage
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Repair or replace in Besthorpe?
A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Questions from Besthorpe
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
