How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- 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.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Through cracks that let water out
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on

Bull Hill: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Are there extra charges for Bull Hill?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
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 repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
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 keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
