How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
If you are in Chew Moor and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually.

- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park

- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

When to call us in Chew Moor
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Look out for these signs:
- Chips around the rim
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A crazed, tired basin
- Cracks starting at the waste
What to look for in a quote
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the room is protected while they work
- How long it needs to cure
- Aftercare advice
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Use mild cleaners only
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we can’t put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins

Can you repair a chipped basin?

I rent my home. Can I book you?
