DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Sink repair at your home in Wickham Street
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is normally repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. If you’re dealing with crazing in the glaze and a crack near the taps, we can typically put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Get chips repaired early
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
