- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Cold Row. The price comes down to:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Cold Row. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
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, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Do you need sink repair in Cold Row?
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips around the rim
- Crazing in the glaze
- A period basin that needs restoring
What to look for in a quote
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How soon you can use it again
- How to look after the finish
- What protection goes down before work starts
