DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
About our sink repair in Hillside
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is generally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. If you are dealing with knocks from hair straighteners and a crazed, tired basin, we can help.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Your questions about sink repair in Hillside
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Usually, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Hillside?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Plumbing leaks
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Hillside
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Common problems we fix in Hillside
Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A chipped basin edge
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A crazed, tired basin
Questions to ask before you book
- Aftercare advice
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How long it needs to cure
