Sink repair in Auchenback without replacing anything
Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. Common call-outs are for damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a chipped basin edge, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Repairing versus replacing in Auchenback
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- A fixed quote before booking
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Questions from Auchenback
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
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.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you come to Auchenback?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Auchenback from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Through cracks that let water out
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
