Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
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.
When we would advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice
Common questions in Newarthill
Do you work in Newarthill?
We do. We send a technician to Newarthill for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Send us photos and we will tell you.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
