Can I fix it myself?
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 generally the cheaper route.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
