What we are called out for in Hunny Hill
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A crack near the taps

- How your room will be protected
How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the next day.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What affects the price in Hunny Hill
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your PO30 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Your questions about sink repair in Hunny Hill
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.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Isle of Wight.

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
