Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
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.

What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin cracked through and leaking

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How it works
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. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Ibstock?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your LE67 postcode.
Are there extra charges for Ibstock?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use mild cleaners only
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
