Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price

Advice
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole basin
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 won’t last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
