What else we do in Coundon Grange
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DL14 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
When to call us in Coundon Grange

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
