Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the whole basin
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Should you replace it?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Common questions in Stoke Dry
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Rutland. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed price.
