Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Use mild cleaners only
- Avoid abrasive pads
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Seamill. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
