Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Advice
FAQs for Borley Green
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Generally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you come to Borley Green?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Borley Green. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Borley Green and the rest of Suffolk. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
- Widespread crazing
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Borley Green. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
