DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Do not overtighten taps
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What a repair cannot fix

- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
How it works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Related advice
Hemley: your questions answered
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
What areas do you cover?
All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
