For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hellington Corner. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Repairs by material
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.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What we’re called out for in Hellington Corner
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
What your quote should include
- What prep work is covered

- How your room will be protected

Repairing versus replacing in Hellington Corner
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
