How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Get chips repaired early
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Cheadle questions
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
