Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Do not overtighten taps
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Great Holland: your questions answered
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Are there extra charges for Great Holland?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
