What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a couple of hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Different materials, different repairs

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Questions from Old Hill

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Do you disconnect the taps?

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

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Old Hill. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

When to call us in Old Hill

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Chips around the rim
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • A chipped vanity basin

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What prep work is covered
  • Aftercare advice

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
