How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Have new chips repaired quickly
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole basin
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Butterton questions
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you cover the whole of Staffordshire?
All of Staffordshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
