Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Fairoak. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Common problems we fix in Fairoak
Fine crazing in the glaze is generally down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
The things customers typically mention when they call include:
- A crack near the taps
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A crazed, tired basin

How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What affects the price in Fairoak
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Any details about the material
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
