DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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, then guarantee it for a year.

The process
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Craig's End questions
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Get chips repaired early
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Landlord and trade work in Craig's End
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Craig's End use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
