Before and after: a chip on the front of a bathroom basin repaired

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

  • Cracks starting at the waste

Our hiring checklist

Repairing versus replacing in St Marys

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for St Marys. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why St Marys clients choose us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

See our pricing.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Use gentle cleaners

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

If you are in St Marys and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including St Marys and the rest of Dundee. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
