DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Don’t overtighten taps

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Widespread crazing
  • Plumbing leaks

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Bolton-on-Swale. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
