When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
If you are in Croydon 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.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. 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.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Croydon
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
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, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
