How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Reedness as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Reedness. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Reedness. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo 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.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What else we do in Reedness
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

FAQs for Reedness
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
