Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Repair chips before they stain
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bicker Gauntlet use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rental properties take more wear, 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. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
