Should you replace it?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Our sink repair starts from £95. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Batford: your questions answered
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
The process
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Landlord and trade work in Batford
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What we’re called out for in Batford
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Crazing in the glaze
- An original basin worth saving
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
Comparing quotes

- When it can be used again

- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use gentle cleaners
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
