Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Hillington. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Other services in Hillington
Hillington: your questions answered
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Typically, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you work in Hillington?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Hillington. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
If you are in Hillington and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What we are called out for in Hillington
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Common reasons people in Hillington contact us include:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Chips around the rim
- Fine cracks across the glaze
What to look for in a quote
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
