Firsdown: your questions answered
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Wiltshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Widespread crazing
- Plumbing leaks
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Should you replace it?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
