Related advice
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
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.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
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 pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Questions from Barlborough
Is a crack in a basin repairable?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Different materials, different repairs
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 them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
