What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Get chips repaired early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cumbria and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ivegill as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Ivegill, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Our sink repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Questions from Ivegill
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you need sink repair in Ivegill?
Fine crazing in the glaze is generally down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

- An original basin worth saving
Questions to ask before you book
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
