What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Questions from Knapton
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Knapton?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price

Related advice
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use gentle cleaners
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Do not overtighten taps
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why book with us
- No need to remove anything
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- One price list for the entire UK

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Knapton. The price comes down to:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
