Should you replace it?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us

- Everything repaired in place
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Colour mixed on the day to match

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Related advice
Bulmer: your questions answered
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most customers in Bulmer get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use gentle cleaners
- Repair chips before they stain
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
