When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Get chips repaired early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you hold any accreditations?

Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Repair or replace in Holwell?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
