Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
What you get with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Colour-matched on site
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Do you need sink repair in Crocketford?
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A crazed, tired basin
- An antique basin with chips
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste

Questions from Crocketford
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
