What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Through cracks that let water out

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Leysdown-on-Sea

  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins

Common problems we fix in Leysdown-on-Sea

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Crazing in the glaze

Choosing a repair company

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Leysdown-on-Sea. What changes the price is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in Leysdown-on-Sea

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

See our full price list.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use gentle cleaners

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
