What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What affects the price in Pelham
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Pelham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Signs you need sink repair in Pelham
Fine crazing in the glaze is generally down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
The things clients typically mention when they call include:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- An original basin worth saving
What to look for in a quote
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Who will actually do the work
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How the colour is matched
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Other services in Pelham
Pelham: your questions answered
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Are there extra charges for Pelham?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
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.
What a repair can’t fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
