Before and after: a crack on the edge of a basin repaired

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Repair chips before they stain

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your S35 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Related advice

Should you replace it?

Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
