The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Evershot. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Most clients in Evershot get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins

Common problems we fix in Evershot

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Chips from dropped toiletries

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repair or replace in Evershot?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Work done at your home or business
