- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Landlord and trade work in Box End
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Box End use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Box End. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
