How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
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 quote, not a guess.

How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Handbridge: your questions answered
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Handbridge included. Travel is included in the price.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Can landlords book you?

Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
What affects the price in Handbridge
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Handbridge. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Signs you need sink repair in Handbridge
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Fine cracks across the glaze
Questions to ask before booking
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who turns up on the day
- If travel is included in the price
Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
