Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use gentle cleaners
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Lancashire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
For anyone letting property in or around Deepdale, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
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 normally cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Deepdale. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
