Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What else we do in Horsted Keynes
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use mild cleaners only
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Horsted Keynes: your questions answered
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Horsted Keynes?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Typically, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
