- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Advice
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for West Hythe. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
