Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Landlord and trade work in Godwinscroft
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
If you manage property in Godwinscroft, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
What we’re called out for in Godwinscroft
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.
People usually call us after spotting something like this:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Crazing in the glaze
- A chipped vanity basin
- An original basin worth saving
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How your room will be protected
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How to look after the finish
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
