How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
What we’re called out for in Scalford
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
Common reasons people in Scalford contact us are:
- Chips around the rim
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Cracks starting at the waste
Before booking anyone
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
