About our sink repair in Hints
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Typical jobs include crazing in the glaze and chips on the rim or front edge, across vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Questions from Hints
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Typically, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you work in Hints?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Hints. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Landlord and trade work in Hints
For anyone letting property in or around Hints, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Should you replace it?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- A fixed quote before booking
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Normally one visit, start to finish

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
If you’re in Hints and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
