Sink repair in Five Ash Down, done in place
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. If you’re dealing with an original basin worth saving and chips from dropped toiletries, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- The material, if you know it
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

- Who will actually do the work
- Aftercare advice
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Get chips repaired early
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
