Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Get chips repaired early
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Treat the basin 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 and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Do you need sink repair in Elson?
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, 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.
Common questions in Elson
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you work in Elson?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Elson and the rest of Hampshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
