Questions from Nook
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price

What else we do in Nook
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole basin
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Nook
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Lancashire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
For anyone letting property in or around Nook, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
