Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Chittlehampton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Repair chips before they stain
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Questions from Chittlehampton
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Normally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

What else we do in Chittlehampton
When to call us in Chittlehampton
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Common reasons people in Chittlehampton contact us include:
- A crazed, tired basin
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price covers travel

- Whether they match the colour on site

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 do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repair or replace in Chittlehampton?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
