DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a couple of hours for most chips.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Sneaton questions
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Sneaton?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
When to call us in Sneaton
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
Look out for any of the following:
- Chips around the rim
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
What to look for in a quote

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. 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.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your YO22 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use gentle cleaners
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
