Repair or replace in Hilton?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, 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.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One picture of the entire basin
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DE65 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
