DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- 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.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Other services in Colerne
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Get chips repaired early
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A basin cracked through and leaking

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SN14 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
