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

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What affects the price in Buckden
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- The material
- Access to the area
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your PE19 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What your basin is made of matters

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Buckden: your questions answered
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Do you come to Buckden?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Buckden and the rest of Cambridgeshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Everything repaired in place
- A fixed quote before you book
