Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
What affects the price in Elham
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
If you are in Elham and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Elham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What we’re called out for in Elham
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- An original basin worth saving
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
