DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.

Friern Barnet: your questions answered
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Do you work in Friern Barnet?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Friern Barnet from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Widespread crazing
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- 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 about parking or access
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
