Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Get chips repaired early
- Use gentle cleaners
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Questions from Dunchideock
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
