Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Sink repair at your home in Hook
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We’re often asked to fix damage to a basin in a vanity unit and chips from dropped toiletries, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Questions from Hook
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
How much does sink repair cost in Hook?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Typically, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Hook. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
If you are in Hook and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Plumbing leaks
- Widespread crazing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Hook. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What your basin is made of matters
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.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
