Questions from South Cliffe
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Get chips repaired early
- Use mild cleaners only
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Widespread crazing
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the entire basin
- Any details about the material

- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
