Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. Our repair technicians work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people get in touch are crazing in the glaze and chips from dropped toiletries.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Castle. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Castle. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used 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.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
