What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Advice
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire basin
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through 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.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Farley. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Your questions about sink repair in Farley
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Are there extra charges for Farley?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
