The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Questions from Candle Street
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you come to Candle Street?
We do. We send a technician to Candle Street for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
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.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Candle Street as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
