Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What affects the price in Hinxton
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Hinxton. What changes the price is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Hinxton, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
When to call us in Hinxton
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Chips around the rim
- A crazed, tired basin
- An antique basin with chips
Questions to ask before booking
- How changes to the job are handled
- What prep work is covered
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who turns up on the day
Should you replace it?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Common questions in Hinxton
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your CB10 postcode.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Repair chips before they stain
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can
