Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
How we handle sink repair in Battledown
We match the glaze as well as the colour. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Our technicians work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are knocks from hair straighteners and a chipped vanity basin.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Common problems we fix in Battledown
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Fine cracks across the glaze
What your quote should include
- Aftercare advice
- What preparation is included
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long

What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Battledown: your questions answered
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What else we do in Battledown
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
