Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Whether it’s an original basin worth saving and a crazed, tired basin, we can normally put it right, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Ermine. The price comes down to:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use gentle cleaners
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Repairing versus replacing in Ermine
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Ermine: your questions answered
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Often. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
Do you come to Ermine?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Ermine for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
