The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

What else we do in Firth Moor
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Something in shot to show the size
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Firth Moor, and we will reply with a fixed price.
What your basin is made of matters
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.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Get chips repaired early
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Do you need sink repair in Firth Moor?
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Fine cracks across the glaze
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How soon you can use it again
- How your room will be protected
- If travel is included in the price
Repairing versus replacing in Firth Moor
Swapping a basin often 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. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
