Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use gentle cleaners
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. 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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Common questions in Over Hulton
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Over Hulton?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BL5 postcode.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole basin
If you are in Over Hulton and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaks from the fittings
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
When to call us in Over Hulton
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Chips around the rim
- An antique basin with chips
Questions to ask before you book
- If travel is included in the price
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
