How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use mild cleaners only
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Our sink repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks

- Vanity unit basins

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.
