DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Signs you need sink repair in Guide Bridge
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- An original basin worth saving
- A chipped vanity basin
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A crazed, tired basin
Questions to ask before booking
- What preparation is included
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- If travel is included in the price
Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins

Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why book with us

- One visit for most repairs
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- We leave the room as we found it

Guide Bridge questions
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Guide Bridge?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
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.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Related advice
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
