Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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 affects the price in Heart's Delight
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material
- The colour and finish to match

- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Repairing versus replacing in Heart's Delight
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why book with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
