How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Questions from Gawber
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How much does sink repair cost in Gawber?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your S75 postcode.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Barnsley and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
