What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- One sharp close-up of the damage
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Widespread crazing
- Through cracks that let water out
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Should you replace it?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Get chips repaired early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use mild cleaners only
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- 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 typically be used later that day or the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Your questions about sink repair in Catshaw
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
