How we handle sink repair in Garthorpe

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not overtighten taps
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Garthorpe. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole basin
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Garthorpe: your questions answered
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- 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
