Fishpool questions
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you work in Fishpool?
We do. We send a technician to Fishpool for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Repair chips before they stain
- Don’t overtighten taps
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.
