Sink repair in Hognaston without replacing anything
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is typically repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are a crack near the taps and a chipped basin edge.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the area is dry

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Hognaston. The price comes down to:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 generally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not overtighten taps
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use gentle cleaners
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
