How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Should you replace it?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Crosby-on-Eden. The price comes down to:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Crosby-on-Eden. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole basin
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
