DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

What we are called out for in Dyke

Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Where you are, by postcode
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your IV36 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
