Should you replace it?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

East End: your questions answered
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Often. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for East End. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
