What your basin is made of matters
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.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Repair or replace in Gobowen?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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.
Gobowen questions
How do I get a price for sink repair in Gobowen?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Are there extra charges for Gobowen?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Get a quote
