Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Knowle. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Knowle questions
How do I get a price for sink repair in Knowle?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
