Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your PA34 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
