Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One price list for the entire UK

See our prices page.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TF9 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Through cracks that let water out

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Newstreet Lane. The price comes down to:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
