Questions from Little Green

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Little Green included. Travel is included in the price.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Generally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

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

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Repair or replace in Little Green?

Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

  • No extra charge for your area

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

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

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
