DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Farnworth: your questions answered

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

Store toiletries on a shelf
Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

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 it into the surrounding surface.
You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
