Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Get chips repaired early
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaks from the fittings
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Questions from Housel Bay
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Housel Bay?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Repairing versus replacing in Housel Bay
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
