How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the next day.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Do you need sink repair in Terling?
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips around the rim
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Landlord and trade work in Terling
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The type of damage
- The material
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
