Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. 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.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Plumbing leaks
- Through cracks that let water out
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Preston

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Preston: your questions answered
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What areas do you cover?
All of North Tyneside, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What else we do in Preston
Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
