Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Repair chips before they stain
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Plumbing leaks
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 usually the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What we are called out for in Gunness
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A chipped basin edge
- A chipped vanity basin
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Crazing in the glaze
Before booking anyone
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How changes to the job are handled
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
