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.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Questions from Upper Gravenhurst

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will you remove the sink?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Upper Gravenhurst. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • A crazed, tired basin

Our hiring checklist

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
