When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Questions from Mill Lane
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you cover the whole of Surrey?
All of Surrey, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you work in Mill Lane?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Mill Lane from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

The process
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- 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
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Get chips repaired early
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
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.
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.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Mill Lane. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
If you’re in Mill Lane and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
