DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Sink repair at your home in Emmer Green
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. Common call-outs are for chips on a built-in basin and cracks around the tap holes or waste, across vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

FAQs for Emmer Green
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Related advice
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
