Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Manadon questions
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For a price in Manadon, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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, then guarantee it for a year.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
