The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Avoid abrasive pads
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Common questions in Polmadie
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
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 there extra charges for Polmadie?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How much does sink repair cost in Polmadie?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
