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. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid abrasive pads
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 crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One sharp close-up of the damage

- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
