Why repair rather than replace?
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
FAQs for Hardham
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Are there extra charges for Hardham?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
