What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  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

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Everything repaired in place
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cornish Hall End use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
