Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

FAQs for Horringer
Are there extra charges for Horringer?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Why book with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Fixed prices from your pictures

- No extra charge for your area

The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
