Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually.

FAQs for Humberstone
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Repair chips before they stain
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the area is dry

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Humberstone
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
If you manage property in Humberstone, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
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.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Humberstone. The price comes down to:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole basin
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
