DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Sink repair in Holbury, done in place
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Whether it’s a crack near the taps and knocks from hair straighteners, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Most customers in Holbury get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
FAQs for Holbury
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
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.
