Huncoat: your questions answered
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Huncoat included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
How we handle sink repair in Huncoat
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. If you’re dealing with chips around the rim and a period basin that needs restoring, we can generally put it right, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Repair or replace in Huncoat?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Colour-matched on site
- Everything repaired in place
- We leave the room as we found it

What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Widespread crazing
- Through cracks that let water out
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

For landlords and businesses

Signs you need sink repair in Huncoat
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
What to look for in a quote
- What aftercare is recommended
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
