How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your LE15 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
