How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use mild cleaners only
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Upton. The price reflects:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- 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.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Your questions about sink repair in Upton
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
