Should you replace it?

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Sink repair at your home in Cavendish Bridge
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Whether it’s a chipped basin edge and a crazed, tired basin, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Cavendish Bridge. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Cavendish Bridge. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job without visiting.
