Before and after: a chip on the front of a bathroom basin repaired

The process

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Your questions about sink repair in Golden Triangle

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

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

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What affects the price in Golden Triangle

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
