Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Earnock. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What else we do in Earnock
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Repair chips before they stain
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Do you need sink repair in Earnock?
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Crazing in the glaze
- An original basin worth saving
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
What to look for in a quote
- When it can be used again
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage

Common questions in Earnock
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
