Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
How we handle sink repair in Pipe Gate
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. If you are dealing with damage to a basin in a vanity unit and a crack near the taps, we can generally put it right.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What affects the price in Pipe Gate
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Pipe Gate. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

- Colour-matched on site
- One price list for the whole UK
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
