Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Kempston Hardwick
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kempston Hardwick use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most customers in Kempston Hardwick get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
