Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
FAQs for The Haven
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes The Haven. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How do I get a price for sink repair in The Haven?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Do you come to The Haven?
We do. We send a technician to The Haven for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Common problems we fix in The Haven
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A crack near the taps
- A crazed, tired basin
- An antique basin with chips

Jobs in RH14 are booked in the same way as anywhere else.

What’s near The Haven

Should I try a DIY kit 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Plumbing leaks
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the day after.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
