What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- How many areas need work
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Repair chips before they stain
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What we’re called out for in Barnacle
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Chips around the rim
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Knocks from hair straighteners
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the colour is matched
- What aftercare is recommended
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Plumbing leaks
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Barnacle: your questions answered
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
