What else we do in Johnstone
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
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.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Get chips repaired early
- Use gentle cleaners
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
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.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Why Johnstone customers choose us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- We leave the room as we found it
- No extra charge for your area
- Most jobs done in one visit

When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
- Plumbing leaks
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
