What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Questions from Foldrings
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Foldrings?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- No need to remove anything
- A fixed quote before booking
- Colour mixed on the day to match

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
