Should you replace it?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Common questions in Evenwood

What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
When to call us in Evenwood
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A crack near the taps
What your quote should include
- How changes to the job are handled
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether they match the colour on site
- If travel is included in the price
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
