Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaks from the fittings
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
If you manage property in British, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Your questions about sink repair in British
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
How do I get a price for sink repair in British?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NP4 postcode.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Repairs by material
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
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Should you replace it?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
