Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Garden City. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
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.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- 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.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Garden City use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Do you need sink repair in Garden City?
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A chipped basin edge
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Crazing in the glaze
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- Who will actually do the work
- What prep work is covered
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use mild cleaners only
- Do not overtighten taps
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Your questions about sink repair in Garden City
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Garden City.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
