Can I fix it myself?
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
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.

FAQs for Bilbrook
Do you cover Bilbrook?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Bilbrook. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
If you’re in Bilbrook and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Related advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Do you need sink repair in Bilbrook?
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- An original basin worth saving
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A chipped basin edge
- Chips from dropped toiletries

What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

- A basin cracked through and leaking
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Repair or replace in Bilbrook?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. 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, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
