You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
What you get with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Chesser. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Chesser, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
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 will not last.

Honest limits

- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks

- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
