Questions from Hazelwell
Do you cover Hazelwell?
We do. We send a technician to Hazelwell for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Hazelwell. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
If you’re in Hazelwell and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Repair or replace in Hazelwell?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
