What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

Our hiring checklist

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Plumbing leaks
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

How we price sink repair

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
