DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
Sink repair in Millholme without replacing anything
Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. Typical jobs include a chipped basin edge and fine cracks across the glaze, in vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Millholme: your questions answered
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Millholme. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
If you manage property in Millholme, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
