Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- The material
- Access to the area
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Signs you need sink repair in Blackford
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Common reasons people in Blackford contact us include:
- An antique basin with chips
- Crazing in the glaze
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Cracks starting at the waste
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if they find more damage
- How the colour is matched
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Who will actually do the work
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
