Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Get chips repaired early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Your questions about sink repair in Kettlebaston
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- 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.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
