Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Repairing versus replacing in Sacombe
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. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Common questions in Sacombe
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Do you cover Sacombe?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Sacombe from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Plumbing leaks
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Common problems we fix in Sacombe
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Chips from dropped toiletries
What your quote should include

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire basin
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
