Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Related advice
Landlord and trade work in Tattingstone
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tattingstone use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we work on in Tattingstone

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Don’t overtighten taps
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Common problems we fix in Tattingstone
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
