What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Frequently. Send us pictures and we will tell you.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
