DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Maypole questions
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you cover Maypole?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Maypole from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
