From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Whether it’s a chipped basin edge and cracks around the tap holes or waste, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Questions from Knock

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Knock as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

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.

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.

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.

Repair or replace in Knock?

A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Knock. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
