Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Eggbuckland, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Eggbuckland questions
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you cover Eggbuckland?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Eggbuckland. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
How much does sink repair cost in Eggbuckland?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your PL6 postcode.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
