In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Should you replace it?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Kemptown. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
