DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
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.

When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks

What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sneyd Park as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Common questions in Sneyd Park
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do you come to Sneyd Park?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Sneyd Park. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
