Repairing versus replacing in Great Denham
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

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. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
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, then guarantee it for a year.

Related advice
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 polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Get chips repaired early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Great Denham, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Through cracks that let water out

- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
