About our sink repair in Hoath
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. If you’re dealing with damage to a basin in a vanity unit and fine cracks across the glaze, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Hoath questions
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Do you cover Hoath?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Hoath. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Landlord and trade work in Hoath
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What affects the price in Hoath
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Hoath. The price comes down to:
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For a price in Hoath, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price

- Chips on a built-in basin

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. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Different materials, different repairs
