DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates

Repair or replace in Kennford?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Advice
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Plumbing leaks
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
