DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Kents Bank. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job without visiting.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- 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 chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
