Sink repair in Maer, done in place
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Maer. The price comes down to:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair chips before they stain
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Your questions about sink repair in Maer
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
