About our sink repair in Sprotbrough
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We’re often asked to fix crazing in the glaze and knocks from hair straighteners, across enamelled basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use gentle cleaners
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Repairing versus replacing in Sprotbrough
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- One picture of the entire basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Sprotbrough, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Sprotbrough: your questions answered
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Do you cover the whole of Doncaster?
We work UK-wide, so Sprotbrough is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, 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 tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
