Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How it works
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
Should you replace it?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Simister. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- One-year guarantee on every repair
See our prices page.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
