Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Your questions about sink repair in Selsted
Do you cover Selsted?
We do. Technicians travel to Selsted from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Selsted?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
When to call us in Selsted
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
The things customers generally mention when they call include:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A chipped vanity basin
- Crazing in the glaze
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the colour is matched
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
