What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

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.

Amwell: your questions answered

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

What areas do you cover?

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • Access to the area

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Repairing versus replacing in Amwell

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Amwell. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.
