Sink repair in Hunston, done in place
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. Whether it’s a crack near the taps and chips around the rim, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Hunston. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
For a price in Hunston, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Hunston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hunston use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.

Common questions in Hunston
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
