Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Cudworth. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair

- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Questions from Cudworth
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
