What else we do in Tockholes
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Advice
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire basin

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Repair or replace in Tockholes?
