How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Pilsley questions

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

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

What we work on

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

When to call us in Pilsley

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

Common reasons people in Pilsley contact us include:

  • Crazing in the glaze
  • A crack near the taps
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • An antique basin with chips

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

10 questions to ask before you book

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Repairing versus replacing in Pilsley

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Pilsley. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
