Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not overtighten taps
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What affects the price in Helpringham
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Helpringham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole basin
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Landlord and trade work in Helpringham
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Helpringham as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
