Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why us?
- One price list for the entire UK
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Most jobs done in one visit

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Plumbing leaks
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use gentle cleaners
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
