Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Questions from Foxhole
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Typically, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
