DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Sink repair in The Barony, done in place
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Whether it’s a chipped vanity basin and crazing in the glaze, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. 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.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

- Vanity unit basins

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire basin
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
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.
Questions from The Barony
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
How much does sink repair cost in The Barony?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your KW17 postcode.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
