Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Holmcroft. The price comes down to:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach

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. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the whole basin
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Choosing a repair company

What a repair cannot fix

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why Holmcroft customers choose us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use mild cleaners only

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

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.
