How the visit works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can normally be used later that day or the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Should you replace it?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Borehamwood. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Use mild cleaners only

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Borehamwood. What changes the price is:

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
