When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaks from the fittings
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hittisleigh questions
Do you work in Hittisleigh?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Hittisleigh from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
