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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

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 polish the repair to suit.
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.

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

Advice
When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Your questions about sink repair in Fiskerton
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
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.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Don’t overtighten taps
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
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.
