Before and after: a crack on the edge of a basin repaired

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

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.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Are there extra charges for Catmore?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Catmore?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
