How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

- If travel is included in the price
- How soon you can use it again
- Aftercare advice
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Common questions in Stanshope
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you come to Stanshope?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Stanshope from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Usually, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Is it worth repairing rather 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.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
