How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
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.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Signs you need sink repair in Scrabster
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Look out for any of the following:
- Crazing in the glaze
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Chips on a built-in basin

Questions from Scrabster
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Scrabster?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

Repairing versus replacing in Scrabster

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Scrabster use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
