- Repairs from £95
- A chipped vanity basin
- Knocks from hair straighteners
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use gentle cleaners
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Drakewalls. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
What you get with us
- No need to remove anything
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- We leave the room as we found it
- A year’s guarantee on all work
Read our pricing.
The process
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
