How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use mild cleaners only
- Get chips repaired early
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What we can’t put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks

What else we do in Wreay
Your questions about sink repair in Wreay
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Cumbria.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Do you cover the entire of Cumbria?
We cover the whole UK, including Wreay and the rest of Cumbria. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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 the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Repairing versus replacing in Wreay
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Wreay. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Wreay
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
