Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Sink repair at your home in Risby
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We work on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and people most often call us about chips on the rim or front edge and cracks starting at the waste.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Common problems we fix in Risby
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A chipped basin edge
- Chips on a built-in basin
What your quote should include
- Aftercare advice
- When it can be used again
- How changes to the job are handled
- Who turns up on the day
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

What else we do in Risby
What affects the price in Risby
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
