The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For a price in Horton, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Common problems we fix in Horton
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An antique basin with chips
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips around the rim
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
What your quote should include

What we cannot put right

- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Plumbing leaks

Common questions in Horton
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do you work in Horton?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Horton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Normally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
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 won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use gentle cleaners
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
