Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use mild cleaners only
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Somerset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Is my repair covered?

Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
