Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Repairing versus replacing in Arnold
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Related advice
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use gentle cleaners
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
