How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use mild cleaners only
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price

Repairing versus replacing in Kirkpatrick Durham
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Kirkpatrick Durham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Work done at your home or business
- Nothing taken out or refitted
See our prices page.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Questions from Kirkpatrick Durham
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Do you cover Kirkpatrick Durham?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Kirkpatrick Durham and the rest of Dumfries and Galloway. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 usually 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 frequently lifts.
