About our sink repair in Harraton
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We are frequently asked to fix cracks starting at the waste and a chipped basin edge, on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and enamelled basins.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Harraton: your questions answered
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Landlord and trade work in Harraton
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Harraton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Everything repaired in place
