How we handle sink repair in Boscoppa
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We regularly repair enamelled basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.

Boscoppa: your questions answered
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Landlord and trade work in Boscoppa
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Plumbing leaks

Repairing versus replacing in Boscoppa
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Do not overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
