The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the whole basin
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Repairing versus replacing in Low Hesket
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why Low Hesket customers choose us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- One visit for most repairs
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Can I fix it myself?
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 a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
FAQs for Low Hesket
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Generally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
