How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Icklingham. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire basin
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on

- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not overtighten taps
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
