How we handle sink repair in St Erme
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Common call-outs are for a period basin that needs restoring and a chipped vanity basin, on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Questions from St Erme
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, St Erme included. There is no extra charge for travel.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we do, step by step

- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
