DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
A DIY attempt is not 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 pictures.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What affects the price in Pymore
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Pymore. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Repair or replace in Pymore?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Do not overtighten taps
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
