Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Sink repair at your home in Emmington
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. If you’re dealing with knocks from hair straighteners and an original basin worth saving, we can help, on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Repair or replace in Emmington?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

- Plumbing leaks
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Your questions about sink repair in Emmington
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Emmington. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Emmington. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole basin
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
