Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

What affects the price in Daybrook
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most clients in Daybrook get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Daybrook
If you manage property in Daybrook, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Get chips repaired early
- Use gentle cleaners
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Daybrook questions
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How much does sink repair cost in Daybrook?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Nottingham. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Plumbing leaks
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
