Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Fonthill Gifford: your questions answered

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Wiltshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

Do you cover Fonthill Gifford?

We do. We send a technician to Fonthill Gifford for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

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, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the whole basin

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
