DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Plumbing leaks
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Hardwick: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Do you cover Hardwick?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Hardwick from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
If you’re in Hardwick and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
