DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Haslingfield. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the entire basin
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

FAQs for Haslingfield
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Repairing versus replacing in Haslingfield
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
What we’re called out for in Haslingfield
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
