DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job without visiting.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Get chips repaired early
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
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.

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
