How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Common questions in Eastleigh
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
When to call us in Eastleigh
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
People generally call us when they notice something like this:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- An antique basin with chips
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
Comparing quotes
- How the colour is matched
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What aftercare is recommended
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaks from the fittings
- Through cracks that let water out
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
Can I fix it myself?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Repair or replace in Eastleigh?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
What you get with us
- Everything repaired in place
- One visit for most repairs
- One price list for the whole UK
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Get chips repaired early
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- 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.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Get a quote
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
