How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Common questions in Renton

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, 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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Renton, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Read our pricing.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Plumbing leaks
  • Widespread crazing

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Antique & period basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. We leave the room clean.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  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

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
