Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Do you need sink repair in Cainscross?
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Look out for any of the following:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- An antique basin with chips
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How long it needs to cure
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Your questions about sink repair in Cainscross
How do I get a price for sink repair in Cainscross?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your GL5 postcode.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you work in Cainscross?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Cainscross for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Generally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Widespread crazing
- Through cracks that let water out
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
