Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Haywood. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Sink repair in Haywood without replacing anything
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Whether it’s chips from dropped toiletries and cracks starting at the waste, we can help, on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins alike.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Haywood, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Repair chips before they stain
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. 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.

When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Can I fix it myself?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Haywood: your questions answered
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Do you cover Haywood?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Haywood. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you cover the whole of South Lanarkshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Haywood included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
