Do you need sink repair in Bankside?
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A crack near the taps
- An antique basin with chips
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How your room will be protected
- How long it needs to cure
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Bankside: your questions answered
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Typically, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Bankside.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Repair or replace in Bankside?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.
