Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Related advice
Common problems we fix in Derrythorpe
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Chips around the rim
- A crack near the taps
- An antique basin with chips
- A crazed, tired basin
Questions to ask before you book
- How the colour is matched
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price covers travel
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use gentle cleaners
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Derrythorpe. What changes the price is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
