We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Hên-durnpike. What changes the price is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Hên-durnpike, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repairing versus replacing in Hên-durnpike

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Everything repaired in place

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Common problems we fix in Hên-durnpike

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A chipped basin edge
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • An original basin worth saving

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How your room will be protected
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Is a repair better than a new one?

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.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
