How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Should you replace it?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for South Cornelly. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

FAQs for South Cornelly

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
