How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Something in shot to show the size
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Repair or replace in Hook End?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Colour mixed on the day to match

What a repair can’t fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Plumbing leaks
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What your basin is made of matters
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
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
