How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

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 will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common questions in Queensville

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Will you remove the sink?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

10 questions to ask before you book

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
