DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Treskerby as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Repairs by material
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.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Your questions about sink repair in Treskerby
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Cornwall. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
