Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Your questions about sink repair in Garden Suburb
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do you cover Garden Suburb?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Garden Suburb from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How much does sink repair cost in Garden Suburb?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
