How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Your questions about sink repair in Harthill

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Normally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Are there extra charges for Harthill?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Harthill. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
