DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 frequently lifts.

Repair or replace in Horsehay?

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Read our full price list.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Common problems we fix in Horsehay

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste

What to look for in a quote

  • What prep work is covered
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

Horsehay: your questions answered

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Typically, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Horsehay. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One picture of the entire basin
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

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

Materials we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Get chips repaired early

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
