Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin cracked through and leaking

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Should you replace it?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, 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.

Landlord and trade work in Garston
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- 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
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
If you’re in Garston and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Advice
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
