Common questions in Hawkenbury
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use gentle cleaners
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit

What else we do in Hawkenbury
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
