DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Signs you need sink repair in Hamsey
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A chipped vanity basin
- An original basin worth saving
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
Comparing quotes
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How to care for the finish
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

- Colour mixed on the day to match

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Any details about the material
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Hamsey, and we will reply with a fixed price.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Plumbing leaks
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Your questions about sink repair in Hamsey
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Frequently. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Are there extra charges for Hamsey?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Get chips repaired early
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
