- Access to the area
- The material

Repair or replace in Honington?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. 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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Common questions in Honington
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
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.

Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

What else we do in Honington
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Get chips repaired early
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
