Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One picture of the whole basin
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Chawston, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Do not overtighten taps
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin

Chawston: your questions answered
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
