- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Plumbing leaks
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for East Goscote. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for East Goscote. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole basin
- Any details about the material
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your LE7 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
East Goscote questions
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you cover the whole of Leicestershire?
Everywhere in the UK, East Goscote included. There is no extra charge for travel.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
