DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

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

Materials we work on in Normanton

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Read our pricing.

What affects the price in Normanton

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area

There are no surprise 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.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Your questions about sink repair in Normanton

Do you come to Normanton?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Normanton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Common problems we fix in Normanton

  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • A crack near the taps
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Chips on the rim or front edge

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

Most clients in Normanton get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
