Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are frequently 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. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why us?

Signs you need sink repair in Gedling
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A crazed, tired basin
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- An original basin worth saving
- A chipped vanity basin
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- How soon you can use it again
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What happens if they find more damage
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Plumbing leaks
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
