DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Landlord and trade work in Latherford
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire basin
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
