Your questions about sink repair in Hinton Martell
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Sink repair in Hinton Martell without replacing anything
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a chipped basin edge and a period basin that needs restoring.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Get chips repaired early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
When we would advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What affects the price in Hinton Martell
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How it works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
