Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Widespread crazing
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Fixed prices from your photos
