Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

FAQs for North End
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Widespread crazing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
