What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
If you are in Hinxhill and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Signs you need sink repair in Hinxhill
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Customers normally contact us about:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Crazing in the glaze
- A period basin that needs restoring
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the price covers travel
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use mild cleaners only
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Repairing versus replacing in Hinxhill
A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
