  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Common questions in Great Addington

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

10 questions to ask before you book

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
