Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

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

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

What we are called out for in Great Alne

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Chips around the rim
  • Crazing in the glaze

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What preparation is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in Great Alne

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

See our pricing.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your B49 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Get chips repaired early

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
