How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Birling questions
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Most customers in Birling get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Birling
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around Birling, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
