What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the next day.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kinlochewe as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Signs you need sink repair in Kinlochewe
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Chips on a built-in basin
- A period basin that needs restoring
Before booking anyone
- What preparation is included
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Repair chips before they stain
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Do not overtighten taps
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
