Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
When to call us in Bank Fold

Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

- A wider photo showing the whole basin

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
