The process
There’s 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 couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
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.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
If you’re in Gressenhall and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Questions from Gressenhall
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you cover Gressenhall?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Gressenhall from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid abrasive pads
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
