Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
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.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we are called out for in High Cross
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
People usually call us after spotting one of these:
- A chipped basin edge
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Chips from dropped toiletries
Comparing quotes
- How to care for the finish
- What protection goes down before work starts

How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Repair chips before they stain
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
