We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Gosford. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your OX5 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Repairing versus replacing in Gosford
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
