FAQs for Quy Waters
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Should you replace it?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Quy Waters. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

The process
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
When to call us in Quy Waters
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Customers typically contact us about:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips on a built-in basin

- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
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.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire basin
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
Most clients in Quy Waters get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
