How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Questions from Charlestown
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Do you come to Charlestown?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Charlestown and the rest of Dorset. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Widespread crazing
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on
