Should you replace it?
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Common problems we fix in Kneesworth
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A crack near the taps
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips around the rim
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
Before you book anyone

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Kneesworth, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the next day.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Ensure the area is dry

What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use mild cleaners only
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
