Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not overtighten taps
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your EH47 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
