Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
If you manage property in West Hoe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Common questions in West Hoe
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How do I get a price for sink repair in West Hoe?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Common problems we fix in West Hoe
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A crack near the taps
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Chips on a built-in basin

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole basin
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For a price in West Hoe, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
