Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What we can’t put right

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Questions from Cotes
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
