What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Knayton. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole basin
- Where you are, by postcode
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Repair chips before they stain
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
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.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
What we’re called out for in Knayton
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Cracks starting at the waste
- An antique basin with chips
- Fine cracks across the glaze
