Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
