DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One picture of the whole basin
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.
