Before and after: a chip on the front of a bathroom basin repaired

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Should you replace it?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Your questions about sink repair in Tubney

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Frequently. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Widespread crazing

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Tubney. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When to call us in Tubney

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Chips around the rim
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price covers travel

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
