Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

10 questions to ask before booking

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a couple of hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
