The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
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.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in West Berkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Your questions about sink repair in Leverton
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Are there extra charges for Leverton?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Leverton.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Why repair rather than replace?
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. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
