Can I fix it myself?
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Back
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

- Chips on the rim or front edge
- An original basin worth saving

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
Every job is a little different, 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.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Back: your questions answered
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
