Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
How we handle sink repair in Reiss
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Whether it’s cracks starting at the waste and an antique basin with chips, we can help, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

We also travel to Ackergillshore (2 miles east), Haster (2 miles south), Wick (3 miles south-east), Staxigoe (4 miles south-east) and Whiterow (4 miles south-east). For island and remote addresses, ring us first and we’ll plan the trip.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Reiss: your questions answered
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Reiss included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do you cover Reiss?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Reiss for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- How many areas need work
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what 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:
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Reiss
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips. We leave the room clean.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in Reiss
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
