Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
For a price in South Bents, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Advice
FAQs for South Bents
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
