DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaks from the fittings
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Hooe Common: your questions answered
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Hooe Common for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How soon can you come?

Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, 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 finish the repair to the same sheen.
