Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- 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
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
For a price in Sileby, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Get chips repaired early
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Sileby
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Sileby questions
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
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.
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.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. 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.
