Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Common questions in White Lackington
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
Common problems we fix in White Lackington
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips around the rim
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
What to look for in a quote
- What protection goes down before work starts

- If travel is included in the price
- Who will actually do the work
Landlord and trade work in White Lackington
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in White Lackington as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
For anyone letting property in or around White Lackington, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Use gentle 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 it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
