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, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Scratby. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
How it works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Your questions about sink repair in Scratby
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you come to Scratby?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Scratby from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Scratby as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
