Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Avoid abrasive pads

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

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What we can’t put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Widespread crazing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

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

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Questions from North Prospect

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you come to North Prospect?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to North Prospect from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Surface cracks can normally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including North Prospect and the rest of Plymouth. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

Will you remove the sink?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including North Prospect. What changes the price is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Why repair rather than replace?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for North Prospect. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
