DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins

How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Lower Halstow. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your ME9 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Common questions in Lower Halstow
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
