How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Use gentle cleaners

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.

A crack near the taps can spread, 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

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One visit for most repairs

See our pricing.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins frequently 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. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, 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.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
