Repairing versus replacing in Greatness
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally 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.

About our sink repair in Greatness
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We regularly repair antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people get in touch are fine cracks across the glaze and chips from dropped toiletries.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Your questions about sink repair in Greatness
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you come to Greatness?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Greatness and the rest of Kent. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
