When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Should you replace it?

What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, 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.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Keyham: your questions answered
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Repair chips before they stain
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
