Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
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 chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
