Common questions in Upper Inglesham
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you cover Upper Inglesham?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Upper Inglesham. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
You don’t 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’ll reply with a fixed price.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin cracked through and leaking

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Do not overtighten taps
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Get a quote
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What your basin is made of matters
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
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
