What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your N1 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Sink repair at your home in Haggerston
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Whether it’s a crack near the taps and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, we can normally put it right, on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Haggerston as everywhere else we work.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a couple of hours for most chips.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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.
What we’re called out for in Haggerston
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A crack near the taps
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Chips on a built-in basin
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How soon you can use it again
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Should you replace it?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Haggerston: your questions answered
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Typically, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
