Damaged basin in Hurn? We repair it in place, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips around the rim
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Questions from Hurn
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Hurn. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Landlord and trade work in Hurn
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take 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.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
