DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

When we would advise against a repair

- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
If you are in Hastings Old Town and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Work for landlords and builders
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, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
