Common problems we fix in Sprat's Down
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A chipped basin edge
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A chipped vanity basin
- Fine cracks across the glaze
What your quote should include
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How the colour is matched
- How to care for the finish
- What preparation is included
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Your questions about sink repair in Sprat's Down
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Sprat's Down?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
