Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Any details about the material

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Do not overtighten taps

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

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

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

What to look for in a quote

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
