What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
Repair or replace in Hindsford?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Hindsford
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Same prices wherever you are
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Colour-matched on site
See our prices page.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Do you restore period basins?

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
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’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
