Why repair rather than replace?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Landlord and trade work in Cess

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  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

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Related advice

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Cess questions

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

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.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Cess. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Cess. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
