How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Bray Shop. The price comes down to:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
How we handle sink repair in Bray Shop
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Common call-outs are for a chipped vanity basin and a period basin that needs restoring, in vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Bray Shop as everywhere else we work.

Questions from Bray Shop
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are there extra charges for Bray Shop?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we are called out for in Bray Shop
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Chips around the rim
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Fine cracks across the glaze
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What prep work is covered
- How soon you can use it again
- What aftercare is recommended
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Widespread crazing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaks from the fittings
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Get chips repaired early
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Repair or replace in Bray Shop?
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. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
