Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, 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.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What else we do in Dayhills
Repairs by material
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.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Plumbing leaks
- Through cracks that let water out
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Your questions about sink repair in Dayhills
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What we’re called out for in Dayhills
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A crack near the taps
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A chipped vanity basin
Questions to ask before you book
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether they match the colour on site
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dayhills use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
