Maidencombe questions
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
How much does sink repair cost in Maidencombe?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Sink repair at your home in Maidencombe
Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. We’re frequently asked to fix cracks around the tap holes or waste and knocks from hair straighteners, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
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.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Widespread crazing
- Leaks from the fittings
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
If you are in Maidencombe and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
