DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, 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 will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
We price from pictures 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.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Chapel Cleeve. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
