Should you replace it?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Hillyfields: your questions answered
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Normally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Hillyfields.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Plumbing leaks
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
