When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaks from the fittings

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Bread Street. The price comes down to:
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Your questions about sink repair in Bread Street
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Do you cover Bread Street?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Bread Street from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
