Repair or replace: which is better?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What affects the price in Honing
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Common questions in Honing
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Honing, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
