What we’re called out for in Prospect
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A crack near the taps
- An antique basin with chips
- Fine cracks across the glaze
What to look for in a quote
- Aftercare advice
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price

How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Prospect
For anyone letting property in or around Prospect, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cumbria and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Your questions about sink repair in Prospect
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Repair or replace in Prospect?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. 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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
