When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Questions from Portsea
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Get chips repaired early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Portsea. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
We price from photos so you don’t 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 will get a fixed figure back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
