DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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.

Repairing versus replacing in Onecote
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

When to call us in Onecote

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
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.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
FAQs for Onecote
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
What we can’t put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks

What affects the price in Onecote
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole basin
- Any details about the material
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
