How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Read our full price list.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

10 questions to ask before you book

What we can’t put right

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

Materials we repair

  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

For anyone letting property in or around Coombe Dingle, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
