Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What affects the price in Howbrook
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
What happens if you find more damage?

When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
