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.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Questions from Matshead

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Do you cover Matshead?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Matshead for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Matshead. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

See our prices page.

What we’re called out for in Matshead

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A chipped basin edge
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • A period basin that needs restoring

Comparing quotes

  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Matshead. What changes the price is:

  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material 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.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

When we’d advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Leaks from the fittings

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins
