How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire basin
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Usually, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Repairing versus replacing in Great Finborough
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
