DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tollesby use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Tollesby: your questions answered
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use gentle cleaners
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Tollesby. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
