The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job without visiting.
Advice
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
