How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Get chips repaired early
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash

Questions from Coatham Mundeville
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Are there extra charges for Coatham Mundeville?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Coatham Mundeville
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
