DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we can’t put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Repairs by material

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

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
