How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Common questions in Scholes
How much does sink repair cost in Scholes?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Scholes is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you work in Scholes?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Scholes. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Repair chips before they stain
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: 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.
