Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole basin
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hewish. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use mild cleaners only
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. 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.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
