Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Repair chips before they stain
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use gentle cleaners
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

The process
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Landlord and trade work in Springholm
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Your questions about sink repair in Springholm
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
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.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
