About our sink repair in Drumsturdy
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Common call-outs are for damage to a basin in a vanity unit and an antique basin with chips, across enamelled basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What else we do in Drumsturdy
What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Drumsturdy: your questions answered
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Often. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
