Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to West Herrington. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
