DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Your questions about sink repair in Barrington
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you come to Barrington?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Barrington. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Generally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For a price in Barrington, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Should you replace it?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
