The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Get chips repaired early
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Common questions in Plains
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you cover Plains?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Plains from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
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.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
When to call us in Plains
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Chips around the rim
- A chipped vanity basin
Questions to ask before you book
- What prep work is covered
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Who turns up on the day

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
