Can I fix it myself?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Questions from Hardgate
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Hardgate is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DG7 postcode.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Typically, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

When to call us in Hardgate
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A crazed, tired basin
- An original basin worth saving
- Chips on the rim or front edge
What to look for in a quote

- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- No extra charge for your area
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Colour-matched on site

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
