The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the area is dry

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Our sink repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

FAQs for Glanton

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you come to Glanton?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Glanton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Usually, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

  • Widespread crazing

10 questions to ask before you book

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
