Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
Itchen Abbas questions
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Do you cover Itchen Abbas?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Itchen Abbas from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not overtighten taps
- Get chips repaired early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Should you replace it?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
