Before and after: a crack on the edge of a basin repaired

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Hove questions

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Hove. Prices do not change with location.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Everything repaired in place
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

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

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
