When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
The process
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the area is dry
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Your questions about sink repair in Beaconside
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you cover Beaconside?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Beaconside and the rest of Staffordshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you cover the entire of Staffordshire?
The entire UK, including all of Staffordshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Should you replace it?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Beaconside. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
