Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

The process
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Plumbing leaks
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use mild cleaners only
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
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 water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Methlick. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the whole basin
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Methlick, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Common questions in Methlick
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
