Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Nelson
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Repair or replace in Nelson?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why Nelson clients choose us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- One price list for the entire UK
- No need to remove anything
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
When to call us in Nelson
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- An original basin worth saving
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Cracks starting at the waste
Questions to ask before booking
- Aftercare advice
- When it can be used again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet. 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.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Your questions about sink repair in Nelson
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Nelson. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Send us photos and we will tell you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
