How the visit works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.

Down Hatherley: your questions answered
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Are there extra charges for Down Hatherley?

How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Down Hatherley. What changes the price is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
