Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hackford. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Related advice
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaks from the fittings
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins

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. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material 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.

Landlord and trade work in Hackford
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hackford use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid abrasive pads
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
