Repair or replace: which is better?
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 fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why book with us
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- We leave the room as we found it
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is 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.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole basin
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

FAQs for Grimstone End
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Grimstone End.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Grimstone End, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
