How we handle sink repair in Hirst
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. We’re often asked to fix chips on a built-in basin and a chipped basin edge, in enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Repair chips before they stain
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One picture of the whole basin
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price

Common questions in Hirst
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of North Lanarkshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Through cracks that let water out
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 will not last.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
