Common problems we fix in Hay Street
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A chipped vanity basin
- A crazed, tired basin
- An original basin worth saving
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
What to look for in a quote

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from pictures
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
Landlord and trade work in Hay Street
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Hay Street questions
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
