- Repairs from £95
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A period basin that needs restoring
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
About our sink repair in Hill Top
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Whether it’s knocks from hair straighteners and fine cracks across the glaze, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
What we are called out for in Hill Top
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A chipped basin edge
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A crack near the taps
Before booking anyone
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Aftercare advice
- How the colour is matched
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

FAQs for Hill Top
How much does sink repair cost in Hill Top?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Landlord and trade work in Hill Top
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your HD7 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
