DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 won’t last.
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 and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Hengrave: your questions answered
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
When to call us in Hengrave
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A chipped vanity basin
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
Before booking anyone
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How soon you can use it again
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use mild cleaners only
- Avoid abrasive pads
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. 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.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
