DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

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. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job without visiting.

Do you need sink repair in Evington?
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
The things customers normally mention when they call are:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A chipped basin edge
- An antique basin with chips
- A crazed, tired basin
What to look for in a quote
- What prep work is covered
- Who will actually do the work
- If travel is included in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
Evington: your questions answered
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Evington included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
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.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
