Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use gentle cleaners
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not overtighten taps
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, 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 you book.

Landlord and trade work in Hey
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire basin
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For a price in Hey, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
