Different materials, different repairs
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, and the colour is mixed to suit.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll tell you if anything changes. For a rural address like Gedney Hill, we plan the journey in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring everything needed for the sink repair, so there is no second trip.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
Common problems we fix in Gedney Hill
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Crazing in the glaze
- An antique basin with chips
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
If you manage a building such as The Gedney Hill Church of England VC Primary School, we repair toilets and washrooms as well as work in homes.
What to look for in a quote
- How to care for the finish
- How long it needs to cure
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gedney Hill as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Repair or replace in Gedney Hill?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. For a rural home like those around Gedney Hill, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while sink repair is one trip.
Our sink repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
