- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
What we can’t put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Mears Ashby. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- One picture of the whole basin
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Repair or replace in Mears Ashby?

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
