Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
What affects the price in Elmswell
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
When to call us in Elmswell
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
Your questions about sink repair in Elmswell
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
