What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
Sink repair at your home in South Otterington
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Common call-outs are for damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and chips around the rim, on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Your questions about sink repair in South Otterington
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
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.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole basin
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in South Otterington, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid abrasive pads
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
