Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. 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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Fairlight. The price reflects:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Fairlight. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
If you’re in Fairlight and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Fairlight questions
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Do you work in Fairlight?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Fairlight from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get chips repaired early
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
